Handley Volunteer What inspires you to support survivors and the organizations that serve them? No one should be judged for the life experiences they have had or continue to have due to circumstances that we may not know or understand. All people desire to be treated with kindness. What would you like to share about your work? The CSE has amazing staff who demonstrate care, kindness, thoughtfulness, and patience with those whom they serve and with their coworkers. I have been volunteering there for over 5 years and will continue to be a part of this team as long as they will have me. I am only a very, very small part of this program. What message do you have for people in our community about domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or trafficking? You are not alone and there is help, support, and HOPE. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/7240dea7-b542-4e98-92b7-a4a9ff7215a8/4.jpg Blog - Announcing the 2025 Concealed Revealed Awards - Kelly J. Trussell, J.D. Community Partner How did you get involved with CSE? In developing the City of Topeka's domestic violence prosecution program, CSE provided us with training that was key to understanding the pathway to successful prosecution, as well as victim assistance. What inspires you to support survivors and the organizations that serve them? Domestic violence survivors are often the most vulnerable citizens in a community. They truly need assistance and support in their greatest time of need. I am passionate about stopping the cycle of violence. What message do you have for people in our community about domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or trafficking? These crimes are often hidden by the victims and are more prevalent than most people realize. These are dangerous crimes that harm entire families, not only physically but also mentally. It takes many resources to address these crimes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/bd92e4dd-74f4-4461-9e4f-a28f027c3fc6/5.jpg Blog - Announcing the 2025 Concealed Revealed Awards - Sharon Sullivan, Ph.D. Lifetime Advocate How did you get involved with CSE? For decades, I’ve been advocating for an end to violence against women and children. Working in this space has created endless opportunities over the years to partner with CSE, especially in anti-trafficking services and advocacy. I am a member of the Kansas Human Trafficking Advisory Board, Executive Director of the International Public Policy Institute, and a member of Rotary Club of Community Action Against Human Trafficking (CAAHT). I also founded the Topeka Shawnee County anti-Human Trafficking Coalition. Tell us about your connection to Concealed Revealed. Way back in 2004, I had a group of students in a special topics course at Washburn University. Several of them were already volunteering or interning at CSE, and they decided to plan a fundraiser as their semester assignment. We came up with the idea to hold an art auction! I believe in the power of art as a form of activism and education. I’m also an artist, and donate a piece (or two!) to the auction each year. https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/boldpowerfulnow monthly 0.5 2025-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/247a8530-2a8f-4d3c-8c8e-63507e9bd905/Bold+Powerful+Now+header.png Blog - A Year-Long Movement for Change  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/1741367396417-WPGNEFKQTA8XOBKT4ZMF/Bold.+Powerful.+Now..png Blog - A Year-Long Movement for Change  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/1741367397792-W6041GJ9MVDMJ6SLLEMY/Bold.+Powerful.+Now.+%281%29.png Blog - A Year-Long Movement for Change  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/1741367399491-NM0B3HI74O7XIC0O9E8U/Bold.+Powerful.+Now.+%282%29.png Blog - A Year-Long Movement for Change  https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/clairescommunity monthly 0.5 2025-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/5c11774c-c66d-4a34-9734-08cc761583a3/TDVAM+Claire%27s+Community.png Blog - Guest Post: Connecting with Claire’s Community - Thank you to our friends at Claire’s Community (Be More Like Claire) for visiting YWCA Northeast Kansas to share more about their work!

Nicole: Claire’s Community is a suite of healthy relationship education and intimate violence prevention. We provide free resources for everyone, whether they are young or older individuals on our website. We also provide education for people learning consent, red flags and green flags within a relationship, what is healthy and what is not, and where to go to seek help if they are experiencing or could be experiencing an unhealthy relationship. It isn’t always an intimate relationship, sometimes it’s learning healthy relationships with your parents, siblings, coworkers, coaches, or peers. All of that is included in healthy relationships. Claire’s Community offers a ton of great resources, like the Teen Power and Control Wheel, to help young adults learn about healthy and unhealthy relationships. https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/the-concealed-revealed-legacy monthly 0.5 2025-02-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/e2c6d6e3-c7e7-4af3-91ba-624f723032f8/thumbnail_image9.jpg Blog - The Concealed Revealed Legacy - Why Concealed Revealed? In 2004, several Washburn University, CSE interns and staff decided to plan an art auction for a class project. Their goal was to raise unrestricted, flexible funds to support the work that CSE Advocates were doing. In the first year, they raised about $1,000. It was all profit because they put on the event with a budget of $0! In 2024, the Concealed Revealed Art Auction raised over $55,000. Join us on April 5, 2025, to carry on the legacy! Pictured: A blast from the past with some of the inaugural planning committee members! From left to right are Laura Burton, Michelle McCormick, Nikki MacMillan, and Sara O’Keeffe. This core group continues to attend and support Concealed Revealed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/b314e389-bfd2-4065-9eee-4f316fe511fb/IMG_7591.JPG Blog - The Concealed Revealed Legacy - Survivor Art Group While Concealed Revealed was growing roots in the community, interns and volunteers were building a healing art group within CSE. At first, they held arts & crafts activities at shelter. As survivors exited shelter, they expressed interest in remaining part of the art group. YWCA moved the art group to the main office, and survivors continued creating together as an integral part of their healing journeys! Visiting artists contributed their talents. Over the years, some of the group art was donated to the auction as a way for survivors to give back to CSE. https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/tdvam25 monthly 0.5 2025-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/eda95e3b-bfd2-46fd-a593-4269f3754ea0/General+TDVAM+Promo+3.png Blog - Guest Post: February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month - love is respect One organization I think you should check out is love is respect.

She got involved after being nominated for the Women of Excellence Awards in 2017. “I really like how Envista does support the YWCA, and I’m proud to be a part of Envista and I’m always proud to see Envista leadership volunteering for different YWCA events. As the YWCA works tirelessly to educate, support, and empower the Topeka community, we at Envista strive to do the same.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/e7bef94a-cf49-43b1-a8f6-fa16b0264005/IMG_0049.JPG Blog - Investing in Women, Investing in the Community. - Ashley Esquibel, Chief Administrative Officer, has great news about one of the more recent initiatives for Envista Employees. “Envista really supports our team members through a lot of different ways. But one of the biggest, which has impacted me as well, is the professional growth opportunities. We looked at our leadership team and saw that 65 percent of them started at an entry-level position, which I thought was amazing. That just shows it’s been part of our culture forever to have that many people who start at entry level and are now running the organization." Since 2022, over 20 employees have graduated from our Career Pathing Program, which connects team members with professional development opportunities, mentorship, and training to achieve their career goals. Over half of those graduates have already been promoted within Envista. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/3c1c149d-3d0f-4dc9-aaf5-288a5d79c034/IMG_0068.jpg Blog - Investing in Women, Investing in the Community. - Jennifer Vance started in a member service position in 2008. Today, she is the Assistant Vice President for Compliance & Risk Management. “I have the privilege of seeing our employees on a daily basis finding a way to make it work for our members, whether that’s fixing a bill pay issue or helping first time home buyer complete that dream of purchasing a new home. Over the last fifteen plus years, it has been amazing watching these phenomenal women lift each other up and make life-long bonds. Some of these women, their careers took them outside of the credit union and they have created this network of support for one another.” Thanks to Liz Steffen, Jennifer is also a current member of the YWCA Board of Directors, lending her skills to help our programs and services run more efficiently and reach more people. “The YWCA does such vital work in our community, and I have three daughters, so I want them to know that their voice is important.” https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/2024-empowered-leader monthly 0.5 2024-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/409287ec-caeb-4f2f-b7e1-ee90fda74d42/IMG_9917.JPG Blog - Meet this year’s YWCA Empowered Leader, Linda Aziz - Meet Linda Originally from Singapore, Linda has traveled and lived all over the world.

Mark your calendars and come to St. David’s Episcopal Church (3916 SW 17th St, Topeka). Doors open at 6:30 pm and the forum begins at 7:00 pm.

They discussed racial disparities in maternal and infant health outcomes, things our state can do to close those gaps, and the dangers of attempts to restrict bodily autonomy, which can actually widen those gaps and worsen outcomes for communities of color. Listen to the podcast here. Bonus: The Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library curated a list of books on the topics, including recommendations for all ages! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/77d08d95-1e30-40f1-8af9-54a3a5f78b56/1.jpg Blog - Beyond the Challenge: Moving from Learning to Action - On Women’s Financial Empowerment: In a second podcast, Rachel spoke with Kathleen Marker, YWCA Northeast Kansas CEO, and Fatima Perez-Luthi, the founder and CEO of The Grind Coaching and Consulting and manager of a local financial literacy program. They discussed the gender pay gap, financial abuse, and how our society should value caregiving. “One of the biggest barriers is child care,” Perez-Luthi said. “But it also comes when we’re taking care of our parents, and the cost of that — a lot of times women are required to leave their jobs because they just can’t make enough to pay or sustain the child care costs or the caregiving cost of their parents or their loved ones.” Read more and listen here.

They discussed the toll that gun violence takes on our communities, and how the policy-level conversation leaves out the voices of Black and brown people. “I’ve felt the effect of gun violence since I think 14 or 15, when I went to the first of many funerals, young folks were lost due to gun violence,” Davis said. “And that is something that has happened periodically for most of my life. … You have the perpetrator, victim thing that happens with gun violence, but then there’s that ripple effect, and the trauma that the families experience and friends, and everything from classmates to teachers.” Bonus: Another curated book list from the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/a1a67a68-5eb5-410b-a818-e8acc5739b8b/2024+Kansas+Reflector.jpg Blog - Beyond the Challenge: Moving from Learning to Action - On Transportation: In the final week, Rachel spoke with Bonita Gooch, editor-in-chief and publisher of the Black newspaper The Community Voice, and Michael Birzer, a Wichita State University professor specializing in racial profiling and police reform.

She focused on the issues of African-American women, including unemployment, illiteracy, and voter awareness. In 1967, as a national board member of YWCA, she advocated for and put into action work around fair housing. She urged women to speak to real estate boards, mortgage companies, banks, and other lending agencies to implement existing fair housing laws and worked for the passage of laws in communities where none existed. In 1990 she was one of the founders that formed the African-American Women for Reproductive Freedom.” -Kathleen Photo: Kathleen’s open door policy applies to YWCA team members of all ages! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/15ee6c5d-4ce9-48f5-b0ea-bacd01a58a55/5.jpg Blog - Celebrating International Women’s Day with YWCA Leaders - What makes you feel powerful? “Collective action makes me feel powerful. The time I have felt the most empowered is when I led chants at our Annual "Week Without Violence" March & Rally last Fall. There's nothing like hearing a crowd of people proudly shout ‘this is what a feminist looks like.’” -Rachel What do you believe will helps us achieve gender equity? “Communication creates our reality. Therefore the things we say are just as important as the things we do. I believe standing against rape culture - derogatory jokes, "boys will be boys," "locker room talk" - is vital to achieve gender equity. We may tend to brush off this behavior when we encounter it so that we can keep moving forward, but we cannot allow it. When someone thinks making a sexist or transphobic joke is okay, they may think it's also okay to physically assault someone. We all have a part to play in ending gender-based violence. It starts with us!” -Rachel Photo: Rachel (front) with fellow CSE advocates at the Week Without Violence rally, October 2023. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/663630bb-7af8-4b41-a03b-eb63140fd562/3.jpg Blog - Celebrating International Women’s Day with YWCA Leaders - What are some challenges you have faced as a leader? “Being in a leadership role for almost five decades, I've had many challenges. Misogyny in the 80s and 90s in a career path that was dominated by men meant I had to work harder and smarter. I learned that dumbing myself down so a male boss could feel less threatened was exhausting. So, I stopped doing that and just grew a tougher shell and learned to navigate not always being valued for what I brought to the workplace.” -Kathleen Photo: Kathleen at the 2023 YWCA USA Conference, accepting the Association Award for Excellence in Advocacy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/917c8a9f-35e3-4ec1-869f-b2b304f78e7a/6.jpg Blog - Celebrating International Women’s Day with YWCA Leaders - What does the YWCA mission mean to you? “Eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

Even so, she began her career at YWCA Harlem in 1937, quickly rising to become one of the most influential leaders at YWCA. Height was YWCA USA's first Director of Racial Justice, and she dedicated her life to the intersectional mission of racial and gender equality. She lived to be 98 years old, leaving a trail of influence that will impact the world for generations to come. At her funeral in 2010, President Barack Obama gave the eulogy. “We have to improve life, not just for those who have the most skills and those who know how to manipulate the system. But also for and with those who often have so much to give but never get the opportunity.” – Dorothy Height https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/bc6d1b59-3221-4530-9c73-c6b1e16413fb/2024+BHM+Graphics+%282%29.jpg Blog - YWCA Black HERstory Makers - Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray coined the term “Jane Crow.” Pauli Murray was excluded from places like Columbia University, UNC Chapel Hill, and Harvard Law because of their race and gender. But none of those rejections kept Murray from devoting their life to the destruction of “Jane Crow”, as s/he called it. Murray did not shy from courageous acts of civil disobedience, such as refusing to move to the back of a bus in segregated Virginia, 1945. And their research and writings were influential to figures like Eleanor Roosevelt and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A paper s/he wrote in law school was used by the team that successfully argued against school segregation in Brown v. Board of Education. Fun Fact: Pauli Murray will be featured on the quarter in 2024 as part of the U.S. Mint’s American Women Quarters program!

In YWCA history, Blanche Parks was President of YWCA Northeast Kansas, and then the first Kansan to serve on the YWCA National Board of Directors. But there are many more contributions that Parks has made to our community, to Kansas, and to the YWCA movement. Parks is a Washburn alum, and was recently (2022) honored as the longest-serving member of the Washburn University Board of Regents. She brought her leadership skills to Topeka Downtown Rotary, and also served as Kansas Governor for Rotary International. And that’s just the start. She is recently retired from decades of courageously serving the State of Kansas in various roles to support Kansas families and students. We’re honored to have Blanche Parks as part of our YWCA Northeast Kansas HERstory.

Another YWCA leader who started a career at her local YWCAs - including YWCA Kansas City - Helen Claytor left her mark on the movement by taking risks and empowering the organization to realize its mission from within. Her storied YWCA career included serving as National Board President (1967-1973) and placing herself at the forefront of the civil rights movement in her chosen home state of Michigan. The YWCA One Imperative: In 1946 YWCA began working for integration throughout the organization, adopting an “interracial charter” that established that “wherever there is injustice on the basis of race, whether in the community, the nation, or the world, our protest must be clear and our labor for its removal, vigorous, and steady.” That work culminated in the creation of YWCA’s One Imperative in 1970: To thrust our collective power towards the elimination of racism, wherever it exists, by any means necessary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/b6697df6-0dc5-49b2-a8e4-886d125d9443/2024+BHM+Graphics.jpg Blog - YWCA Black HERstory Makers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/who-is-a-stalker monthly 0.5 2024-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/1706126905339-444IVE1KW38RLMJX2WG9/SHARE-proclamation.png Blog - Myth vs. Reality: Who Is a Stalker? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/f6abe30b-7f03-4be4-b83d-86b7917eeff1/NSAM-2024-Daily-Posts-2.png Blog - Myth vs. Reality: Who Is a Stalker? - Stalking Statistics and Gender Research on stalking victimization in the transgender and gender non-conforming (GNC) population is severely lacking. Trans and GNC people were not specified as being a part of the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, which reported 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience stalking at some point in their lifetimes. However, a 2020 study on trans populations and intimate partner violence reports that transgender people are 1.7 times more likely than cisgender people to experience intimate partner violence (IPV). Furthermore, intersectional research on stalking and all forms of IPV are vastly under researched. Nevertheless, a 2020 study on IPV and black women found that Black women are 44% more likely to experience IPV compared to 35% of white women. https://www.ywcaneks.org/blog-collection/january-is-human-trafficking-awareness-month monthly 0.5 2024-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/c531c008-69e6-44d3-96a0-4dcf6e965839/National+Human+Trafficking+Awareness+Month.jpg Blog - January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6524a4da3f377e60923b048d/34d87a29-e0ea-430d-b528-205063c87502/Human+Trafficking+Intersection+Venn+Diagram.jpg Blog - January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month - Out of the 25 types of human trafficking: 5 were identified as sex trafficking only, 15 as labor trafficking only, and 5 were classified as both sex and labor trafficking.

About the Karen Viola Award Karen Viola is a longtime supporter of the YWCA and gave so much of her time and energy helping with our accounting when we were in a time of need. She was with us full-time as a volunteer during a transitional period for this organization. In 2016 we honored Karen by naming our Volunteer of the Year Award the Karen Viola Award. Since then, we have recognized former front desk volunteer Vickie Deaton, former Advocacy Chair Kim Montoya, former Concealed Revealed and Resource Development volunteer Carrie Riordan, Human Trafficking volunteer advocate and veterinarian Allison Crow, front desk volunteer Kevin Williams, and volunteer and Women of Excellence Committee member Marcy Weekley.
